Event - Spooky Month Game Jam! 2024

Ms Littlefish · 2024-09-28T06:06:14+0900

Hosted by @TRIDIUM , co-hosted by Ms Littlefish Judged by TRIDIUM, Ms Littlefish, and @hiddenone (unless we scare her off) October is a great month. Fight me in the comments. Not only does Halloween happen in October, the bugs start to die…at least in the Northern Hemisphere. You may begin working on your projects once this announcement has been made public. Submission Dates: Oct 21st - Oct 28th, 11:59PM EST (Oct 29th 4:59AM UTC) Winners announced: Nov 3rd. The prompt is “haunted building.” The goal for this jam is to create a compact, atmospheric, and of course spooky~ game centered around a haunted building within a month. It could be the classic haunted house, but try and get creative! What places scare you the most? What does “spooky” even mean? Think eerie, mysterious, strange, uneasy, and supernatural. The art of spookiness is intrigue. We’d love classic monsters! Ghosts, witches, undead, ghouls, and even cryptids! You name it! Spooky can often take a lighter or even humorous tone compared to horror, so no need to shy away from whimsy~ if that’s your preference! Your project must be 30 minutes or less of gameplay for the average play through. Open to any Makers published in the KOMODO store. You must have the rights to all materials used. Gameplay: How fun, balanced, and functional is the game play? Visuals: How good are the visuals and how well do they contribute to the spooky atmosphere? Audio: How good is the audio and how well does it contribute to the spooky atmosphere? Story and Writing: Is the prompt of “haunted building” used well? Creatively? How well does the writing lend to the art of spooky? Spookiness: Then. Naturally. How spooky~ is the game? How atmospheric is the game and how excited does it make us for Halloween? There will be a second thread opened for submissions. Do not submit before the submission times or to this thread! Please use one of the following sources: Google Drive Dropbox Itch.io 1st place: $20 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge. 2nd place: $10 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge. 3rd place: $10 of KOMODO DLC of your choosing and an exclusive badge. All participants will receive a badge! Badges are created by hiddenone. Stay turned for the sneak peak! You may use any resource you hold a license for. Do not use resources that infringe on copyrights or trademarks. Do not use AI. Due to the prizes carrying a cash value, ensure your resources are available for commercial use. You MUST include all credits and adhere to all copyright and licensing requirements. You may withdraw your submission. You may also update until the deadline date and time. Community conduct standards still apply. Violence and mature themes should not overly exceed a PG-13 standard. Judges reserve the right to disqualify an entry for any reason deemed necessary One submission per member.

I have to bow out of this jam too, both from being too busy and just not having a lot of interest in what I was making anymore ^^; Nethertheless, good luck to remaining participants!

I have to be honest, I don't know how to include both the downloadable version and the browser version together . Tomorrow, I'll try to do this integration.

It doesn't have to be on the same itch page if that's difficult for some reason. Just provide a link to the zipped deployed game on Google Drive or Megaupload or whatever.

It's 100% possible, I did it for my spooky game.
Just upload multiple files and make sure to tell it that it's an executable.

I don't think I'll make the deadline, but if I don't it might be for the best, I'm liking this short project so far, and I might be able to make more custom stuff like portraits or better tilesets for it, hope you won't drop the project if you won't be able to meet the deadline.

Y'all, don't forget you get a participation badge for submitting even if your game isn't finished. So if you've got something playable, make sure to submit it!

The number of times I've heard that in the Halloween-month movies I've been watching...

The answer is often pretty bad.

The worst thing is not getting that badge! And going to school in your underwear! Using duct tape now!

a decrease in self esteem and an increase of self-flagellating.

Some how, I feel like a point I made in my jam post is relevant here...

If I have the title and the intro and end scenes of the game... but nothing to play in between, does it still count? :eswt:

My right arm (and dominant side) has been HURTING all week, which makes using the computer difficult. ;_; That and the fact that I can't decide gameplay has really been stopping me from making my idea come to fruition in any form.
